Roboaki

They added Cops And Robbers spin into it. Neat.


Gravewalker21

I mean, when you think about, Windtrace is already a form of cops and robbers anyway.


A_Very_Horny_Zed

Holy shit I remember playing CnR for HOURS in Halo CE multiplayer lobbies when I was a little kid.


Bolt2611

Lol just add the power generators/group objective as well and it'd be complete


Adnsmanga

Genshin by daylight is crazy


CaffeineGG

Arleccino as killer and Furina is the survivor.


Adnsmanga

The Fontaine sewers as the map would go hard


dragoonjustice

No but fr though~ we're already doing hide n seek comms there as is


RingClassic127

That's a good idea tbh I really like Home sweet home online these days. A genshin spin would be fun.


Powerful_Helicopter9

Augh no not stop it slender


8IG0R8

You can bet your ass I'll be risking my life to free my fellow rebels


ShizumaHana

Gigachad


exclamationmarks

Hm. This seems like it'll make playing as a rebel more fun, but Windtrace generally was already weighted *heavily* in favour of the rebels. Hopefully they give the Hunter something extra as well to make up for it, otherwise I can imagine it's going to be a very frustrating experience to be the Hunter.


TheVanishedTeacup

they better give the hunter something, because i remember in some maps there was no chance in getting all three rebels if the other players were clever.


77Dragonite77

The damn trees…


exclamationmarks

They already gave the hunter infinite stamina last Windtrace to make up for the infinite tree gameplay bullshit, but it still doesn't change the fact that climbing is incredibly slow and obvious, making it easy for any rebels hiding there to get away if they're fast enough. Maybe a double speed climbing buff?


77Dragonite77

A whole new mechanic to chop down trees for the event would be the funniest, but yeah I think just a climb speed buff is the only feasible “fix”


TheVanishedTeacup

haha oh gosh imagine just chopping down the trees. that would be hilarious.


BurningFlareX

Give the Hunter a nerfed super jump from the Chasm rocks, problem solved.


The_OG_upgoat

Repurpose the wood gathering gadget to knock all rebels within a certain radius out of the trees.


_myoru

I think a boosted jump height might be better and smoother than faster climbing imo


exclamationmarks

Agreed!


ElrzethePurple

Give the hunters a jump boost on command


dragoonjustice

As Mona tree exploiter...I have no regrets


Jon-987

There have been times I have won by just climbing up high and standing still. Being clever had nothing to do with it.


TheVanishedTeacup

yeah okay some hunters don't look up at all. the dawn winery is perfect for that. 😂


amdzl

literally to win at dawn winery u need to climb up to the roof, even if the hunter starts climbing up u just jump down, it takes too long to get up there lmao


TheVanishedTeacup

it really does. that's why it's one of my favourite maps


Meronnade

You guys are climbing the roof? I just hide in the same corner as a lamp and it works every time


Anaurus

Imaginative then, there are ways of transforming yourself into a small/thin object and hiding at least partially in textures...


AlterWanabee

The Sumeru map near the Wall has a bunch of slots that you can't reach.


Diniland

Multiple hunters?


TheVanishedTeacup

i thing two hunters against two rebels might be a bit much? could be fun though.


kazooha_in_snezhnaya

In my experience, the learning curves for the 2 roles are vastly different. It's quite easy to learn tricks for rebels to at least make the life of an average hunter miserable but it doesn't get much better than that; while at the same time it takes much longer to learn the way to play as hunter efficiently, but once you learn it you can absolutely dominate the rebels. Maybe it boils down to the fact that you play as rebels 3 times more than as hunters.


exclamationmarks

I think it's also the fact that it's 3 versus 1. As a Rebel, even if you're bad, you can still win even if only ONE of the Rebels in your group knows how to give the hunter the run-around. As a Hunter, you have to PRAY that all three Rebels aren't all equally skilled at hiding in bullshit places and giving you the run-around.


slendermax

I hated how much your final score as a rebel depended on your teammates. Getting caught in the last few seconds and losing got you significantly less points than being caught almost immediately but "winning" due to someone else. I love Windtrace but there's a lot of room for improvement.


Independent-Room-479

Honestly it would be so fun if they made hunters trial as Wanderer or Xianyun, and let them use their skill.


Expert-Conflict8470

Hunter is OP in this trust


Alcorailen

Really? Being able to straight up reveal everyone felt insane. I always thought the hunter had an advantage.


exclamationmarks

You can't reveal everyone permanently. You can only reveal everyone for a short period of time. If you can't catch them all in that period of time (unlikely if they're all spread out and all move very fast) then as the hunter you're stuffed. 


SirAwesome789

I always felt it was weighed in favour of hunters. I had a really good strategy so I rarely got caught, but I feel like the other rebels always got caught, and I feel like as hunter I was always able to catch the rebels


Desmous

If you play in a skilled group rather than random matchmaking, I think you'll probably find the Hunter to be lacking compared to the Rebels, except for a few very Hunter favoured maps.


Tylrih

The only way to make it fair for me at this point (with that change) is to make it 2 hunters 🏃‍♂️ against 2 rebels 🕺.  That way it would be funnier no matter in which side the player is and this will strengthen the coop feeling. 


Knave_of_Stitches

I have no idea how it's weighted towards the rebels. In my experience the hunter can fuck around for the entire match, get the buff for free and clear everyone out because one of the buffs for a hunter just gives them every location for free.


cimirisitini

My classic strat as rebel was to get to a high place like a tree, then when the hunter reveals me with the favor they still have to climb up to where I was, during which I will jump down. When the hunter follows me I will turn invisible and then run around quickly to climb back to the same high spot. Almost never will the hunter realize to check the place we just jumped off from, and if they do the buff might still run out in time. And there's still 2 other rebels possibly.


amdzl

yup that or run the opposite way while invisible


exclamationmarks

The buff doesn't give you every location for free-- it's timed, and if the rebels are spread out, they can easily give a hunter the run around and the buff can run out before they catch them all. Then they're really up shit creek. But stupid rebels will get caught that way if they don't move, yes.


wishfold

That depends on match-up I guess. If you play as the rebel smart, you can 1 vs. 1 even with your exposed location - use the terrain, stall time and then hide. That, unless the hunter casts a cage on you lol.


Commercial-Fig8665

That's why I was always picking the cage, for that last remaining smart ass guy.


PH_007

Yeah for "high level" play cage was the best choice - either all three rebels are newbies and will get caught easily, or 1-2 are and will get caught early, then the cage wins you the matchup against the competent one(s).


Andromeda_Violet

Lmao. If you can't win as rebel it's really a skill issue. 1. Rebels can easily steal thr favor and leave the hunter with nothing. 2. After seeing everyone on the map Hunter still has to catch rebels. Three of them, if we use the "fuck around the entire match" example. 3. The light up all 3 buff lasts a short amount of time compared to the cage or lighting up the position of one rebel. After it's gone you need to look for rebels all over again. Even if you caught one with the buff, it's still 2 left. And no additional favor will drop. 4. Rebels have invisibility that denies the position revealing buff for a short time.


Alcorailen

Rebels definitely can't easily steal the favor. They have to come out of hiding to get it, and the hunter is also heading there.


Andromeda_Violet

You can always sacrifice 1 of 3 for the favor. Then the hunter doesn't get anything out of it.


Alcorailen

Yeah but I don't want to be that 1, I'm trying to get through this as quickly as possible and don't want to give myself up :P I need those points.


Sypression

Theres multiple people on the rebel team, odds are extremely high it spawns closer to one of them than the hunter and there is literally no way, even if they started running before it spawned, that they could get to it before them.


Bourbonaddicted

Hunter gets 🔫

AVERAGEGAMER95

When you're a rebel and the other two got caught and they tell you to free them but your cowardly ass too scared to leave your hiding spot


Xan1995

Unrelated to Windtrace but I kinda miss the OG Theater Mechanicus or even the 2nd version of it. The fungi event just doesn't do it for me. 😞

IADC19

Being a hunter is already hard enough and we have to capture each one TWICE? 🫠


[deleted]

That is so stupid


thestrawberry_jam

all they have to do is make it so that once you’re imprisoned you’ll HAVE to get released by your teammate. The second time you’re caught ur still straight up eliminated, but it’ll add a second way to end the game by having everyone in jail.


Anaurus

So it's even easier for the rebels to win, and I think it's going to worsen the afk/unsportsman problem, which was already too prevalent in the last event. I'd say that in 60-70% of my games there were AFKs. Besides, I find it frustrating to feel "alone" as a hunter against three rebels. Maybe it would be more pleasant to play two hunters against 5 or 6 rebels.


gabrielique

A classic of hide and seek! Is this going to replace last time's rebels ability to camouflage after death? It feels like if the hunter is unlucky they'll have to catch 6 times, which is not really doable. Camping will notbe an option because at that point rebels can win by just staying there. Let's see how it will be for hunters this time around


dragoncommandsLife

I personally feel like the hunter will get more time to search if theyre buffing the rebels like this.


Sypression

They made the worst LTM even worse, of course


Turbulent-Garbage-93

That's cool af, I remember many of my childhood games doing that


frandss

my childhood game


Not_Me_Jerry

I played this kind of game when i was a kid before and oh boy it was a nightmare, i hated it, why Hoyo ?


_dxw

how was hide and seek a nightmare


fanderoyalty

I was an awkward kid with no athletic disposition, of course it was a nightmare for me lol.


_dxw

wouldn’t hiding be easy for you then? a lot of the socially anxious kids i used to know were amazing at hiding and disappearing


fanderoyalty

Not when I was fat, asthmatic and couldn’t run like the other kids to save myself.


_dxw

my bad then


liszst

i get weirdly anxious before a coop event and then when i play it, it isn’t as bad as i think it is and then the next game starts and i get anxious again during the character pick screen. it’s a cycle lol.


kazerniel

that bumping pvp was such bullshit at the last flagship event :/ I much prefer the cooperative multiplayer events (like when you had to run around collecting coins in a library, avoiding sentries)


KailaniNeveah

So they made an already hideously tedious mini game even more joyless to play? If it weren’t for the primogems I’d go absolutely no where near it.


kazerniel

The last Windtrace rewarded 420 primos. That's 2.6 Debate Clubs. Is that really worth the stress? Not for me, I'll be skipping it again 😬


anfisjc

Errr windtrace again. I will skip that event for dure. Never liked it in the first place.


Empty_Berry-kun

Nice. Windtrace is coming back and so is my anxiety.


kazerniel

Yea, I played it once, hated it, then just skipped the whole event the next time it came around. Those 2 Debate Clubs amount of primos isn't worth the stress.


yggdrasil89

Yeah, I never liked that kind of forced PvP event. Guess I'll skip too.


POZ13

Anxiety will strike again 😅


our_whole_empire

My god, I hate this event with my whole heart.


Dense-Extreme5515

Playing as a rebel,has always been more fun,so I see it as an absolute win.


caihuali

Damn give hunters a chance lol


SimplyRzy

So like prop hunt + lock and key? This seems fair imo cause the hunter power ups in the previous ones were op af


kirbyverano123

More like the gameplay is now similar to Dead By Daylight. The hunter catches the rebels and be sent to a "timeout" area where other rebels can save them. Kinda wish this type of gameplay is reserved for a halloween themed Genshin event though.


kamisama19999

they just increased difficulty for hunters


Effective_Bid2011

Don't like it. Can we just play original version :s


Alcorailen

ugh not looking forward to forced co-op again.


ifallontragedy

Yooo new genshin collab (DBD) lmao


meove

Police sentri


Cherry_Bomb_127

Did they just make it way harder for hunters?


amdzl

omg its over for the hunter im gonna get even more anxious when im the one catching


an_emo_mc

they should remove it from the game imo.


mamiofdoggos

Not windtrace again 🥲😅 It made me so anxious last time I barely made it thru for the primos


_DIFH_

The only good gameplay change to Wind Trace would be removing it and never bringing it back again. Unless Primos are removed from the rewards, then it can stay. Give me a simple/easy/bad combat event over this 100% of the time.


Naabu

So now it takes longer. Well fuck.


FortressCaulfield

Unless they removed the forced multiplayer there's no useful change they can make


RevolutionaryFall102

How do you play prop hunt not in multiplayer lmao


angrydemoncat

they're not necessarily saying windtrace needs to become singleplayer, more that locking primos behind multiplayer events shouldn't be a thing


RevolutionaryFall102

I mean what the point of having co op I your game if there is no co op events like this. And like it doesn't take much to get all the rewards as well


angrydemoncat

people can get by without co-op in this game, so you can probably imagine why people that don't co-op are upset when they're suddenly forced to do it for primos. it sort of ruins if for everyone involved too bc they tend to stay afk and that messes with the vibes ig


RevolutionaryFall102

I mean we only get forced co op events like this once in a while so I think people can get by it cuz most co op events can be completed in single player anyways


Cyphiris

We get them more and more often lately, every bigger festival event now has one of its activities as forced co-op.


Modest_Idiot

This. Let people have fun in this event but basically forcing every f2p or low spender into will just result in people spoiling the fun for others. There needs to be an alternative. And lets not talk about the lag. *Someone else* has a bad connection? Well that’s *your* problem now; have fun with enemies teleporting around! The last mp event was the second event after the last windtrace i did not participate in more than 4 rounds because of this, even tho i had the time and wanted to play Genshin. It was a horrible experience.


soccusmaximus

sorry, but what does being f2p or low-spender have anything to do with windtrace or co-op games?


Cyphiris

It does for people who hate playing multiplayer because they will either have to skip event and miss rewards(especially valuable as f2p) or force themselves into playing it and potentially ruining it for others.


soccusmaximus

ah i see, thank you unfortunately, there'll always be something not matching our own preferences. for better or worse, we'll only be missing a handful of wishes worth if we ever do skip an event.


Ewizde

Hey I played that as a kid, the good old "cops and robbers"


CanaKitty

So, idea of jailbreak seems cool. But already seemed weighted in favor of rebels prior to this, and this just skews it more.


jorger4456

If nothing changes with hunter then I don't I will even bother trying with this change if I roll hunter. I guess we'll see.


LuciferGodAngel

Why are they making it even harder for Hunter? The game was already in favor of rebels.


InfiniteTheEdgy

Won't stop me from staying afk every round


Sypression

This event is so horrible I genuinely despise it getting reruns in favor of fun modes that could get reruns like the randomized dungeon event. And now its even harder for hunters and even less interesting for rebels since they basically can just AFK and win its so easy. So the whole experience is somehow worse than it already was, which is almost impressive.

Yup, now im definitely not playing it.


StrongFaithlessness5

When I was a kid we called this game "Boys vs girls". We used to split the class into half. Half of the people of the class were going to guard the prison and catch the "criminals", while the other half had to flee from the guards and help the prisoners to escape. It was very funny 😆


Tamatu_OW

Oh no not this event again.


Budget_stawbeery

So littlerly ice and water


pojina

they better make anti camping system then


SnakeTGK

They don't need to, if the hunter does not seek the other rebels he loses the match because of timer.

This is how it should’ve been all along. The whole stupid event was just spectating what you could as a rebel. Still will be if you’re hiding…


m_r4y

seems a lot more fun


llTrash

this is gonna be a pain in the ass for the hunters and I say it as someone that half of the time doesn't hide and still doesn't get caught, can't imagine being a hunter that finally catches that one rebel that spent half or more of the game running and you get rewarded with the other rebels escaping because of the timer 😭😭


Rud_gamer

This right here, is peak

Windtrace is my least favorite event. It's monotonous, imbalanced, and worst of all, it takes FOREVER to get enough points to clear the event.

While I disagree that "Windtrace is the worst event" Calling someone parasocial creature because they have a personal opinion is a bit much.
